Linda Bloodworth and Mary Kay Place, who also has a role as Lt. Louise Simmons, collaborated again, although I don't think this is as strong as their earlier effort.  As the title suggests, it's Spring in Korea (1951?  1952?), and there are various threads, some not fully resolved, as with the soldier who won't talk or let go of his pet cat.  Still, Klinger's ham-radio wedding to his girlfriend Laverne is interesting, and Radar does get "slaked."

Greg Mabrey makes his first of two appearances on the show, this time as Pasco.  Odessa Cleveland (Bayliss), Gwen Farrell (this time Lt. Baker), Roy Goldman (as Roy Goldman), Sheila Lauritsen (Nurse Sheila, her last appearance), Jeff Maxwell (Straminsky), Kellye Nakahara (Yamato, with an actual line this time, although she's uncredited), Patricia Stevens (Nurse Stevens), and Dennis Troy (a Corpsman again) all return.
